1363 Obtaining the Inheritance (1/2)

After being teleported out from the First Palace, Lin Huang still had not yet recovered from the fact that he had passed the Great Heaven Trial when he discovered that where he stood was now a mountaintop.

Lifting his head to look into the distance, he could even gaze down on the stretch of endless mountains far away.

Just as Lin Huang prepared to spread his Divine Telekinesis to see how big the area was, a golden palace slowly emerged in front of him.

This palace did not emerge like how the Ten Palaces had appeared previously, where they coalesced from nothing into something solid. It was more like the palace had already been there, but was masked by some formation or barrier. Now that formation and barrier had been lifted, the palace's true façade was gradually revealed.

”The Great Heaven Palace...” Lin Huang's attention was immediately captured. He recognized the legendary palace at a glance.

The entire palace was golden in color. It shone brightly under the sunlight and looked resplendent and magnificent.

Unlike the ostentatious surface details of Sword9's golden palace, the various details of the Great Heaven Palace were of unequaled exquisiteness, which gave it a much more dignified atmosphere.

The stairs of the palace had a total of 108 steps. Below each side of the stairs, there stood the sculpture of a golden bird beast. The bird beast seemed to be covered in flames. Even stranger, it also had three legs and nine long feathers on its tail which simulated nine fire pythons with their heads raised.

When he looked at the two gold sculptures, Lin Huang could not help looking at it a few more times.

”A Golden Crow... If this thing were alive, it would be comparable to a fifth-rank supreme god...”

The two Golden Crow sculptures were based on the three-legged Golden Crow, which was originally a vestigial fire attribute bird of prey from the great world with an archaic bloodline. This beast was comparable to a current supreme god. Born with the combat power of a True God, it would automatically be elevated to a Heavenly God in its growth period, and reach peak heavenly god-level in maturity. There were a few with outstanding qualifications that could also be elevated to lord-level through successful Dao unification.

Lin Huang passed the two sculptures and walked up the white jade stairs.

After going up all 108 steps, he finally reached the doors of the great hall and stood before them.

The whole palace was built in the Chinese style, somewhat similar to the Taihe Hall in the Forbidden City, but its height and area were more than a hundred times that of the Taihe Hall.

A blue board with ”Great Heaven Palace” inscribed on it in gold letters hung on the eaves of the first floor.

The golden doors were more than 100 meters high, and each had a golden dragon carved into it. The bodies of the two dragons seemed to be made from flames.

”Is this an Archaic Fire Dragon?” Lin Huang was a little uncertain.

He has seen the description of the Archaic Fire Dragon in the great world's monster guide, but there was no relevant image. However, the carving on this door matched the description almost perfectly.

The Archaic Fire Dragon, like the three-legged Golden Crow, was an ancient vestigial beast. Even until now, its powers remained at supreme god-level and were in no way less than the three-legged Golden Crow.

Before this huge palace, Lin Huang was as small as an ant. He only stared at the carving for a little while, however, then reached toward the doors with his palm.

The doors were cold to the touch and not that different from ordinary metal.

Lin Huang was just about to push open the doors when the eyes of the two carved Archaic Fire Dragons suddenly lit up.

He could clearly sense a vast, ancient aura gradually rising.

The whole palace resembled a living creature waking up.

A moment later, the door opened slowly on its own without Lin Huang needing to do anything.

Lin Huang glanced at the relief carvings on the door. The two Archaic Fire Dragons seemed to have come to life and their eyes fell on him, sizing him up.

”These are weapon spirits...” Lin Huang was startled. To use Archaic Fire Dragons as weapon spirits, two of them even, was quite a shocking spectacle.

After calming himself, Lin Huang nodded slightly at the two weapon spirits. He then shifted his gaze and stepped toward the doors.

As he passed through the guarded doors, Lin Huang sensed only darkness in front of him; he could not see anything.

He stood where he was without hastily venturing into the depths of the palace, but soon heard the thud of the closing doors behind him.

The moment the door was completely closed, the whole world seemed to light up.

The moment he saw the scene in front of him, however, Lin Huang was stunned.
